To Media
The FIN-FSA makes available information on the supervised entities’ financial position and regulatory changes, on a regular basis. We are also tasked with the duty of increasing general awareness of the financial markets, of any topical issues of relevance to the public and of new products and services launched on the market.
We publish annually more than 20 press releases and arrange 2–3 press conferences. In addition, our experts publish blogs on matters of topical interest and advertise them on our twitter account Twitter.com/FIN_FSA. We communicate directly with our supervised entities through supervision releases.
Our Market Newsletter addresses, for example, insider issues concerning listed companies and issues related to disclosure requirements and prospectus supervision.

Macroprudential decision: Countercyclical capital buffer requirement and housing loan cap remain unchanged, credit institutions’ risk weight floor discontinued
The Board of Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) will not impose a countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) requirement on banks and other credit institutions. The maximum LTC ratio, i.e. loan cap, will be maintained at its statutory standard level of 90% (first-home loans 95 %), to which it was restored in summer 2020. The decisions support conditions for economic growth. The FIN-FSA Board will not extend the validity of the risk weight floor, which entered into force in 2018.Press release

Finnish financial sector has so far withstood the effects of the coronavirus pandemic well - operating environment remains uncertain, however
The Finnish financial sector has so far withstood the effects of the coronavirus pandemic reasonably well. The economic downturn and the coronavirus pandemic, however, are affecting different actors with different intensities and time spans. A number of public and private sector measures have sustained the real economy: the Financial Supervisory Authority’s macroprudential decisions are supporting the supply of credit, and the recommendation to refrain from profit distributions has strengthened financial sector actors’ risk-bearing capacity. The instalment-free periods granted by banks have eased the situation of households and businesses. Monetary and fiscal policy has also been expansionary.Press release
